IANCE: Bears are larger and stronger than humans. They kick our ass in a fight. Going up against several of the nastier diseases gives us significantly less than 50% chance of survival. Malaria in particular has apparently killed over half of the people who ever lived. Waterbears can survive in much harsher conditions than we can. Tortoises and some other species live longer than we do. Many species have survived far longer than we homo sapiens have. Rats greatly exceed us in numbers and have adapted to basically anything we can throw at them. No efforts to get rid of them have really succeeded.

There, superior species are all over the place.

That conversation was over already and you know it.

Besides, just because they are better at certain things than we are doesn't make them superior. They're not the ones who dominate the world, are they?

'sides, we could totally kill more people than Malaria if we tried.

Water bears can also survive in the vacuum of space for like a month, survive several dozens of times the radiation that could kill us, and can go without food for years.

Ugh, we're still doing this. Tempted to go deeper but I won't.

So... Is Frost dead or just knocked out or what?

So looking at other translations for Episode 37, it appears that Cabba isn't superior to Vegeta, but his base equals Vegeta's base and Vegeta is defeating him with Super Saiyan until Cabba transforms. So it looks more like Cabba's only disadvantage is that he can't access the same forms as them.

I'm also not sure if he'll be super strong because the whole Universe 6 arc has not made the base Saiyans look impressive at all.

So...

Cabba's base is as strong as God-Ki enhanced Vegeta. That... does not make a lick of sense.

So wait, when animals are better at certain things than we are, it doesn't count, but if we surpass them in one category it's the only one that matters? Why? Especially ones that survive just as well as we do and that we can't seem to eradicate.

Catching up to malaria would take an awfully long time. More people have died to it than live today. Malaria: 1, humanity: 0.

Edit: And yeah I know the conversation was over. I just want to point out the holes in your logic.

[up][up] The thing is we don't really know how Goku and Vegeta's base forms work. Nothing in this arc has made them appear to be particularly impressive, and they're able to use the regular, non-God ki Super Saiyan.

They don't seem to line up with their Resurrection F performance. So I don't know if it's Cabba that is stupendously strong or if Goku and Vegeta are just being really underwhelming.

It was either having him be inexplicably god tier or a joke fight... This is why they should've had the weaker fighters go first.

@Eriorguez I swear I'm not an idiot; my IQ's 143. I was just relaying information I read in an article in a science magazine. Clearly that magazine was wrong. I blame the magazine for misinforming me. However, I am at fault for not checking my sources before saying anything.

Quoting your unverified IQ is the "some of my best friends are black" equivalent of defending your intelligence.

Soo,Cabba lied about not knowing what Super Saiyan is?Or just nobody treats it as something special cause everyone can do it.

It's looking more like Vegeta provokes him into becoming a Super Saiyan for the first time.

You, uh, don't have high standards if that's all you're trying to avoid.

Don't twist my words. I was a little offended at being compared to an idiot; doesn't mean lesser insults won't offend me. I was also a little embarrassed at having stated wrong information.

They said that what I said was moronic and compared it to thinking that bats are birds because they both fly. Obviously, that reflects poorly on my intelligence so explanations were in order.
